Seeking an internship within the field of Geographic Information Science or a related Earth Science area, to use my experience in Geographic Information Systems, field research, and quantitative skills to further my passion for sustainability and develop my research interests. My current experiences are diverse across my educational and work background. This includes coursework involving multi-scalar population and environmental geography studies, and geospatial data collection and analysis. Through geographical studies, my research interests have evolved to center around mycology, climate change and oceans, and environmental management. These studies coupled with work experience in event management, restaurant/hospitality positions, ski instructing, and office assistance together give me an insight for applying my interests to sustainable and efficient operations.
